Cut

the sticks
Problem Statement
You are given N sticks, where the length of each stick is a positive integer. A cut operation is performed on
the sticks such that all of them are reduced by the length of the smallest stick.
Suppose we have six sticks of the following lengths:
5 4 4 2 2 8

Then, in one cut operation we make a cut of length 2 from each of the six sticks. For the next cut operation
four sticks are left (of non-zero length), whose lengths are the following:
3 2 2 6

The above step is repeated until no sticks are left.


Given the length of N sticks, print the number of sticks that are left before each subsequent cut operations.

Note: For each cut operation, you have to recalcuate the length of smallest sticks (excluding zero-length
sticks).
Input Format
The first line contains a single integer N .
The next line contains N integers: a0, a1,...aN-1 separated by space, where ai represents the length of ith
stick.
Output Format
For each operation, print the number of sticks that are cut, on separate lines.
Constraints
1 N 1000
1 ai 1000
